| | | Just sittin in the grass Ah its time I posted something again.
Thought this might be good.
A copy of the original can be found here
A larger version of my effort can be found here
It was Danny that gave me the idea to do something in B&W, he's on a roll with it right now.
Now go and enjoy.

| | | Re: Just sittin in the grass Great photo to play with, Peter! How 'bout some sepia tones?
Desaturate, pushed pixels around then painted with the art history brush and history brush. Added film grain and a touch of texture. |

Peter | LOL...Guess I just got to thinking of the ancient Clifton Webb movie of the same name when I titled this interpretation.
Nope...didn't use Redfields's. This is a new style from the latest version of Gertrudis Pro, (not out yet.) Have been helping out as a beta tester for this program.
And thanks.

Steve C. | Clifton Webb eh - showing your age there (1948)
I thought Redfields, because if you apply it once then again, (Ctrl+f), 2 or 3 times more you can get a very similar effect.
Happy testing.

Palms | Don't know if his movies were popular in the U.K. or not.
He made quite a few good ones. "Cheaper By The Dozen", (a true story), is one of my favorites. Also he was in one called "Three Coins in The Fountain" which was filmed in Rome. The fountain was, of course, Trevi.
